A day with music flows better
Start Your Day With Music
We go about our lives on a day to day basis, getting up going about our schedules. Some of us get our children up and ready for the day and then we head out the door and go to our jobs or maybe we work from home now. It's the same day after day. It can be a hectic life but if you are like me it can go so much better if you listen to music.
Over Sensory Children Can Sometimes have a difficult time adjusting from one thing to another and getting them ready in the morning can be a challenge. I would put some instrumental soft music on low in the back ground and that would start soothing my granddaughter down almost right away and the transitions went much smoother. She loves music and loves any nursery rhyme DVD with music that she can sing with.
I used commute to work and would listen to music on my way to work and would be so happy and in such a good mood by the time I walked in, I was ready to take on my day.
Music Lifts A Person Up
Many times I have turned on music to help me when I have felt blue about something. I have always felt better listening to the melody or the words. Some musical notes can really ring deeply within you that it moves you to the point of goosebumps, not to mention some words flowing with those notes! I played piano when I was a child but never continued past the lessons and I played clarinet in high school. That was it. I got busy with other things. But I have always loved music and I have to have it in my life. I found that I can't be sad when I listen to music.
Music Is A Motivator
If I have to get something done, A good motivator for me is to turn up the tunes and that will get me going. It can be house work or if I have a project to work on and I don't have the energy to do it, I just put on some up beat music and it will get me up and going. I can't sit still if my rock and roll is on. Music also helps me lose weight. I love to go out dancing and I have shed pounds when I do that on a regular basis.
Now that the COVID-19 is here and I can't go out I have to get on my Gazelle machine and put on the tunes. Which by the way is not nearly as fun. LOL. I miss the people and the bands.
End Your Day With Music
At the end of the day when all is quiet and you are finished with your daily tasks and it is time for you to have a little wind down time, take a few minutes to put some earbuds in and listen to some type of relaxation music or a meditation that has music as part of the meditation. You will sleep better. Music can be so healing.

Hi Terri, good to see you. Music can indeed lift us up.
When it comes to writing, music, can help us to do our best work.
Take care and best wishes.

I have never written music however I have a couple of granddaughters who write lyrics and can come up with their own music on the guitar to go with the words. I think they actually play by ear. They have done this since they were in junior high.
I enjoyed your post. I wrote a blog about music last year, and I totally understand waking up and beginning my day with music and ending the day with it.
I was raised with music in my life on a daily basis with my mother.
It does make you feel happy, and soothing at times when needed.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Thank you. I was raised up in church and a church school where we sang and had music a lot so I am sure that is why I learned to love music so much. I was always around it as well.

Music is food to the soul and has great relaxing effect. I would highly take up your recommendation.

Excellent Post TJ. I love to listen to music everyday when I do my walk. I get into it so much that my mind wanders and I come up with some of my better ideas. It also makes me feel like walking is not a chore because it goes by so fast. It is a good crutch for me. Wish you the best.
Thank you.
Yes it certainly makes time feel like it goes much quicker when walking or excercising. I'm glad to hear it gives you ideas as well.
